(Dragonfly tattoo done by Jason Wilkins ... in memory of Tommy)
The dragonfly came from nowhere to hover, fly
In front of my face, close to my eyes
I stood waiting for the sign I knew would come
From the other side ... from a young man I loved
Sure enough, when I blinked ... the dragonfly
Landed on my nose ... his little wings became still
It sat there ... looked at me ... I looked at it
Tears began to roll from my eyes
The dragonfly touched a teardrop with it dainty foot
He rose from my nose ... flicking the teardrop into the air
Drops from the teardrop rained on the little dragonfly
Making him shimmer, shine in the golden sunlight
My eyes saw such special beauty
I knew this dragonfly was giving me a sign from the other side
Love reflected in the sunlight as the tiny drops flew off its wings
Touching my cheeks like a child's kiss
I knew my son had sent me a sign through a dragonfly
A special sign from the other side ... I love you, mom
Dragonflies do strange, wonderful things whenever I see them ... I know it's Tommy sending love from the other side. Gloria Faye Brown Bates/aka Granny Gee
Note by this Author: My son died 6 years ago ... for 6 years I've noticed dragonflies do unusual things. I know the dragonfly would be the way Tommy would communicate from the other side so, I wouldn't be afraid.
